Appetizers and Charcuterie Boards: A Cooking Demo

Back by popular demand! Susan offered two demos for CLE last year and both sold out with waiting lists. Now is your chance! The word “charcuterie” is derived from the French words for flesh (chair/char) and cooked (cuit). The word was used to describe shops in 15th century France that sold products that were made from pork, using a practice of salting and smoking meats to preserve them which dates to ancient Rome.  Today’s boards include a variety of meats, cheeses, fruits and more which delight any palette. During this demonstration, you will learn how to build a gourmet and visually stunning charcuterie board featuring a bounty of fresh, quality ingredients, and a variety of textures and flavor profiles. Susan will demonstrate how to make four different seasonal appetizers.  The appetizers are easy to make and will impress your friends and family this summer!  Afterwards, we will all socialize and enjoy this creation with wine!
